More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Angels cannot preach the gospel, only beings such as Paul and you and I can preach the gospel.
Oswald Chambers
If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
Oswald Chambers
If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He doesn't ask you to make it right He only asks you to accept the light of truth, and then He will make it right. A child of the light will confess sin instantly and stand completely open before God. But a child of the darkness will say, “Oh, I can explain that.
Oswald Chambers
The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Adam was created to be the friend and companion of God, he was to have dominion over all the life in the air and earth and sea, but one thing he was not to have dominion over, and that was himself.
Oswald Chambers
One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, 'What do you expect to do?' You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......Hav e you been asking what God is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do. He reveals to you who he is.
Oswald Chambers
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save ourselves nor sanctify ourselves, God does that but God will not give us good habits, He will not give us character, He will not make us walk aright. We have to do all that ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.
Oswald Chambers
God expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part.
Oswald Chambers
Obey God in the things he shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already...this chapter brings out the delight of real friendship with God.
Oswald Chambers
Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
Oswald Chambers
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.
Oswald Chambers
The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.
Oswald Chambers
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
Oswald Chambers
Seeing is never believing: we interpret what we see in the light of what we believe. Faith is confidence in God before you see God emerging, therefore the nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
The greatest word of Jesus to His disciples is abandon
Oswald Chambers
God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.
Oswald Chambers
Faith for my deliverance is not faith in God. Faith means, whether I am visibly delivered or not, I will stick to my belief that God is love.
Oswald Chambers
Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.
Oswald Chambers
The secret of Christian quietness is not indifference, but the knowledge that God is my Father, He loves me, and I shall never think of anything He will forget. With this knowledge, worry becomes an impossibility.
Oswald Chambers
